Purple Match

Personal Assistant (PA)/Support Worker

Job ref. PUR-167-286-days

About me

I am a lady in her late 40’s who has a variable illness with differing day to day needs. I am looking for a PA to join a small team to support me in living as independently as possible in my own home.

I believe a smile and laughter helps to get through most situations, however the illness I have does get me down sometimes. Therefore I’m looking for a PA with a great sense of humour but who also has a caring side and great empathy too.

I love to get out of the house as much as my condition allows. I have a passion for live music, trips to the cinema, theatre and love the great outdoors. I also love fast cars, crafting, cooking and travelling around the world.

Having a rapport with my PA’s is extremely important to me. I’m looking to find a companion in a PA as well as a carer. Having a PA with similar interests to my owns a bonus but I’m always open to new interests.
